Photographer's Note

Less about a place, but more about the people belonging to it. In the crowd of the market, she seems not belonging there, into this "Man's world"...

Negreni - a village on the half way between Oradea and Cluj, in the West Carpathian Mountains. Where the valley of the river named Crisul Repede becames a bit larger, was place enough near/among the river to keep market.
I don't know if the tradition is continued till now, but there was once in a year a marketplace, three days long.
People - most from the surrounding villages, but also from over 100km - came with traditional products, most of them homemade. Also food, cereals, animals.

Cropped, "cleared" with Neatimage, a lot of work on scratches - old negativ
As WS, the sepia version. What do you think?

This is not the first shot from that place, Janos, but it is the best one of this series.
Although I like sepia, and you made a nice sepia composition, I think the b/w version is better. She seems not belonging there, that's right, but she makes this composition excellent. I like the way all the men looking at the same direction, there must be something interesting there, but we have to imagine what could it be. Excellent shot, Janos.

It is a funny situation Janos, the young girl in white and all the old(?) men in dark turning the other way. Well caught, nice grain of the fast films of the time, wish it had been a bit sharper but this kind of picture works in soft focus too.

I remember the Zenit, my brother had an SLR from them in the seventies and also in our school there were some for photoclass.

I like the dynamic in the image, and the contrast between the girl and the men. With her long dark hair and the white T-shirt she really stands out from the crowd.
The grain is nice. That's what TE can do to you: send you rummaging through your old photos (/strips of film). Thank you for sharing this one,
Raluca
